BoBoiBoy: The Runaway Assassin

Chapter 15: Investigation and Interrogation

Previously...

Knowing that her purple robot friend was being accused of something he didn't do didn't sit well with Victoria. They could accuse Adudu for all she cared, but Probe? No way.

"It seems I have to pay these 'arsonists' and 'apprehenders' a little visit." She smirked mischievously.

----------------------------------

After investigating the still standing but burnt shed that housed the school's sports equipment, spotting a footprint that could be a clue to spotting the fire culprit that was, unfortunately, erased by Mr. Papa's Earth's version of 'moon walk', to accessing the school's security footage which finally revealed the mysterious person who had been setting fire on random areas that led to this interrogation now.

"So it was you! You're the arsonist, Adudu and Probe!" BoBoiBoy pointed an accusing finger at the green, cube-headed alien with a glare.

With a bump on top of his gauze-covered head, and around one of his antennas, with three bandages around his face, Adudu was a very sorry sight. And hearing the elemental superhero's accusation made the scowl on his face even uglier.

"Me? I'm not the arsonist, BoBoiBoy!" He growled.

"That's right! Mr. Boss and I were actually looking for him so we can have him join us-"

"Shut up, Probe!" Adudu snapped. But the robot's words struck a reminder in him that made him laugh evilly.

Fang narrowed his eyes in distaste. "What do you mean, huh?! We saw you on the security footage! You were there when the shed was on fire."

If possible, it made the alien laugh even more. "That's right... We were there when the shed was already on fire. Meaning, we were not the cause of it at all!"

Yaya gritted her teeth in anger then raised a fist. "Who are you trying to lie to, huh?!"

"HA HA HAHA! Lie? I'm not lying at all! In fact...the liar is one of you. You want to know who the fire culprit is?" Adudu made eye contact with one of them. "The fire culprit is YOU!" With an evil smirk, he slammed a fist on the table then pointed an accusing finger at-

"BOBOIBOY!"

BoBoiBoy was shocked, and so were his friends.

"I-IMPOSSIBLE!!" He gripped his head in denial at the accusation. "I-It's impossible!"

"Impossible?" Adudu cackled again, enjoying the look of doubt and alarm on the boy's face. He continued speaking. "Think carefully, BoBoiBoy. Dig deep in yourself. You are the arsonist!"

Helplessly, the boy listened. And he saw images within his mind. A henhouse, Papa Zola's office, Uncle Komar's ice cream stand, an underground tunnel. They all have one thing similar.

A boy similar to him but with a few differences in clothing style and color staring at the aforementioned with his hands on fire.

His head pounded as he tried to make a sense of it all."This... This is all just a dream!"

"A dream? Or a memory, huh?!" Adudu pressed.

"Is that true, BoBoiBoy?" Fang turned to him. He was just making sure. He may not fully trust Adudu but he had to give the alien the benefit of the doubt. Also, only BoBoiBoy was the one with elemental powers. Something suspicious is going on here. 

"I... I'm not sure." Even the superhero himself was almost convinced; he was thinking almost the same thing as Fang.

But the alien was not done speaking yet. He wanted the boy to crumble. "All this time you've been fighting against evil in the name of good... Who would have thought that a superhero like you would also have evil inside you!" He cackled like the villain he was.
